Avalanche

He sees right through me

Past the layers of heavy bricks

Pavement accumulated to push away

Stacked up to keep intruders out

He knows each piece just by looking

And he breaks them down one by one

 

Through each open hole that he steals

Shines a light that stings my skin

The flesh starts to melt away slowly

And a long crescendo within the soul begins

Yet the mind keeps the foundation steady

Beat after beat, levying the on rush of falling mass

 

As the sounds get louder, each block shakes

My barricade becomes fragile and vulnerable

The secrets are unable to stay enclosed

I am exposed and have no control of what’s next

But he continues his charge till he triumphs

And it’s hope that keeps us both entranced
